Michelin star experience!

My wife and I enjoyed the Lancaster Manor and hosts (owners) Connie and John so much on our 1st visit, we extended our stay. This weekend was our second visit and special celebration for a family member. None of us wanted to leave. I have traveled the world, stayed in the finest hotels, and have dined at famous Michelin star restaurants. No one makes a better breakfast than John! Dinners by Connie are equally amazing. We love, love, love the Lancasters and their manor. We will return!

Magical experience!

My husband and I had a fantastic time at The Lancaster Manor Bed and Breakfast! I had never had such a magical experience like the one I had with the B&B hosts Connie and John. We stayed for the Jonas Brothers concert at the casino, and the B&B offers a private shuttle service to the venue – so convenient! Their four course dinner is delicious and fantastic – what a unique experience to have such a wonderful dinner on the property! The breakfast – OMG delicious! What a treat – overall I would not hesitate to recommend the property and hosts to anyone in the area. Most unique experience I have ever had! The property is beautiful, they have a wonderful pool for hot summer days we enjoyed, the french room we stayed at was adorable. Bonus: I got a massage in room, and it was also so fabulous. Their massage therapist they work with is also really wonderful. Super bonus: they sent us the sweetest postcard once we got home to thank us for staying with them. Thank you Connie and John!

5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Stayed in the Cowboy Room and it was an absolute treat from start to finish. Connie and John’s hospitality is next level — you can tell how much care they put into every detail. Breakfast alone is worth the trip: the salmon and avocado eggs Benedict was incredible, and the homemade banana nut bread had me going back for seconds. Everything felt homemade and organic, which made it even better. The pool and hot tub were perfect for unwinding, and their shuttle to our concert in Thackerville was such a huge convenience — no worrying about driving back late! This is easily one of the best B&B experiences I’ve had, and I’ve already been telling all my friends to book here. Can’t recommend Connie and John enough!

Connie and John are the epitome of high customer service. Sweet wonderful people. The bluebonnet room was romantic and the sheets smelled of roses! The house was a beautifully preserved piece of Texas history. Breakfast was made-to-order and 10 stars. If you’re considering this place it’s 1000% worth it.

I could not recommend this B&B enough!

Abbey Whetzel

I have never experienced anything quite like this B&B. Connie and John are exceptional. They welcomed us in a way that changed the definition of hospitality for me. Aside from having the best innkeepers ever, the space was beautiful. We stayed in the bluebonnet room, and we felt transported to the 1910s. Don’t get me started on breakfast- a full course meal made from all organic or sourced ingredients. I yearn for John’s French toast everyday! Though we did not have time for the dining experience, we can’t wait to come back and try it! I could not recommend this B&B enough. We are already planning a trip back solely to stay at the Lancaster Manor and explore the quaint town.

An amazing stay from start to finish! Breathtakingly beautiful home, warm atmosphere, comfy bed, and John and Connie are masters of hospitality! So many little details make it truly special. Do NOT skip on the dinner add-on, you will miss out! The included breakfast is also just as fantastic. The best food we have had. The perfect relaxing couple’s weekend vibes. We will absolutely be back!
